4 FINE POINT.
The Picture Admitted Duty Free, But
the Frame IL Taxed.

The directors of the Metropolitan Museum
ofArt, New York, appealed to the Treasury
Department from the decision OF the col
lector of customs at New York, assessing
duty on the frame and velvet drapery of a
painting presented to the museum by Mr..
Morris X. Jesup, which painting was ad'
mitted to free entry under date OF Decem-
Der Z, 1886. He claimed that as the picture
could not have been imported without the
frame, and &c the velvet drapery is a neces-
sary part Of the whole In order to properly
exhibit the picture, they are entitled to free
entry. The department has rejected the
appeal and affirmed the decision of tho col
lector as in strict accordance with previous
rulings

An opinion from the pacIac Coast

The San Francisco Merchant, the viLicultural

people there give him good support in his
efforts, as he shows the true inwardness, and
exposes the humbug of the business. The con-

POPULAR GLYMoNT.
The Beauties of ono OF washington's
Fayorite River Resorts,

The Glymont Improvement Company is a
Washington institution that richly deserves
the support of Washington people. The
writer OF this, in company with some other
gentlemen, was the guest OF the company
on Thursday evening, making the trip to
Glymont on the elegant steamer Pilot
Boy, when belongs TO the company.
Guests were never more pleasantly enter
tanned than were those assembled on the
Pilot Boy. Mr.. Sheriff, the president, and
Mr.. Callahan, the manager, OF Glymont,
and the other gentlemen In charge did their
entire duty as hosts, and proved them.
selves experts in that line of business.
But 1t was Of Glymont the writer pro-
posed to speak, and the improvements male
there. The mistake has been made hereto
fore OF confining those who visited that
place TO the valley where the wharf rests
The new company has changed this, and
erected an elegant pavilion on the brow OF
the hill, eighty feet above and overlooking
the river. The view is q splendid one, and
the cool breezes, unobstructed by rising
grounds or timber, fan the brows OF fevered
denizeps OF the city who can escape tho
glare Of the hot streets and seek this pleas
ant retreat.
Some bath houses have already been
erected and more arc to be, and gravity
railway will soon be constructed to carry
passengers to the brow Of either Of the high
bills which make Glymont one Of the most
marked places on the Potomac.
But even without these It can safely be
said that Glymont is a most pleasant resort,
at which to escape the heat Of the city aud
breathe fresh country air, at an expense 50
triliDg as TO be within the reach of every
one. The Pilot Boy Is safe and well
equipped boat on which to travel, and
makes two trips each day, one in the morn
ing and the other at o'clock In the eVen-
ing.
Visitors may safely trust to the courtesy
and kindness of Mr.. Robert Callahan, the
manager, and Mr.. Betz, the purser, for
every attention, and they will find the din

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

Animals for breeding Purposes to BE
Admitted Free, Even If for Sale.
The Treasury Department has decided
that animals Of high grade and value i'm
ported from Scotland or other distant coun.
tries for breeding purposes are entitled to
free entry, Notwithstanding the fact that
they may be for sale. This ruling reverses
the decision of the collector of customs
at Detroit, Mich, who assessed duty on
certain Scottish stations on the ground
that the free list provision did not apply to
animals intended for sale, even though i'm
ported for breeding purposes.
